Prospect Heights, IL

The cost

Stop paying a handyman $300–$500 every time something breaks in your Prospect Heights home

Prospect Heights homeowners spend $3,600–$6,000 a year on reactive repairs — each one its own search, its own wait, its own $300–$500 bill. A Home Harmony subscription is $184 per month.

But the cost comparison isn't really the point. What changes is that you stop scrambling. Same technician. A maintenance plan that actually carries over. When something breaks, you're not starting from zero.

Here's what that cycle costs across 12 months.

Why us

Why Prospect Heights homeowners trust FixHome+

FixHome+ Roman Using Hand Circular Saw

Roman, FixHome+ founder & handyman

Meet your Prospect Heights handyman

Roman handles Prospect Heights jobs. 10+ years on NW Chicago suburbs properties. He carries the tools, tracks every job through the app, and shows up at each property already knowing its history. Subscribers in 60070 don't have to explain their house from scratch at every visit — Roman already knows what was fixed last time and what's on the maintenance list. That continuity is what a subscription delivers that a one-time call cannot. When a new issue comes up between scheduled visits, subscribers open the app and Roman is back on-site within 48 hours — no waiting weeks for an available handyman, no trip charge to negotiate.

Serving all of Prospect Heights

FixHome+ covers Prospect Heights (60070) and nearby Arlington Heights (60004, 60005, 60006, 60007), Mount Prospect (60056, 60057, 60058), Wheeling (60090, 60095), Riverwoods (60077), and Buffalo Grove (60089, 60090).

Over a decade in the same neighborhoods

FixHome+ has worked on homes in Prospect Heights and the surrounding suburbs for more than ten years. Roman knows these houses: how they were built, what fails first, and what seasonal maintenance actually looks like here. Homes in 60070 follow predictable maintenance patterns: gutters fill by October, exterior seals crack by February, and small plumbing issues surface every spring. Roman sees these cycles across the entire area and handles them before they become expensive repairs. A homeowner who books one visit per month gets twelve touchpoints per year — enough to catch problems at the cheap end of the repair curve before they turn into emergencies.

Services

What we fix in Prospect Heights homes

In Prospect Heights, the most common calls are Dryer vent cleaning, Leak Assessment and Fixes, TV Mounting and Installation, Outlet and Switch Replacement, and Faucet Replacement. Older homes also see regular Gutter cleaning & repair as original plumbing reaches end of life. Seasonal work like Garage door maintenance rounds out the year across all Prospect Heights ZIP codes.

The FixHome+ subscription keeps a handyman visiting on a regular cadence — 12 times per year, one per month. That consistent schedule means small issues get caught and fixed before they require a contractor or a large repair bill. Dryer vents get cleared before fire risk builds. Faucets get inspected before a slow leak becomes water damage behind the wall. Gutters get cleaned before ice dams form. Each visit builds on the last. That's a real maintenance plan, not a stack of one-time calls. The average homeowner who switches from on-demand calls to a FixHome+ subscription saves between $1,392 and $3,792 per year compared to 12 traditional handyman visits at $300–$500 each: $184 × 12 = $2,208 versus $3,600–$6,000 for 12 standard one-off jobs. All scheduling, service tracking, and maintenance history live in the app — no calls, no paperwork.

Comparison

FixHome+ vs. the other options in Prospect Heights

Local handymen in Prospect Heights can be skilled, but finding a good one takes two to three weeks, billing is $300–$500 per job, and there's no way to track what's been done or what's coming next. You start from zero every time something new breaks. No maintenance history, no running list, no one who knows the property. It's a reactive loop, not a maintenance plan.

Franchise brands are more consistent than a cold Craigslist search. You're still paying hourly, and what you get still depends on who shows up that day. No subscription, no property history, no plan — just a one-time invoice and a number to call next time. The hourly clock starts the moment they walk in. There's no continuity between visits and no one tracking what your home actually needs.

DIY works until it doesn't. The tools add up, the weekends disappear, and half the projects on the list haven't moved in months. The list doesn't get shorter on its own. Most homeowners in the area find that small tasks compound until the backlog is too large to tackle on a weekend. By then, a few of those "small" tasks have turned into repair calls anyway.

FixHome+ works differently. One monthly subscription covers 12 handyman visits per year, one per month. Home Harmony subscribers pay an effective $92/hour against the non-subscriber rate of $125/hour. The math: $184 × 12 = $2,208 per year versus a traditional 12-visit approach at $3,600–$6,000. Regular visits catch problems before they turn into repairs. Roman tracks what's been done and what's coming due.

Our Mission

Why FixHome+ exists

I spent more than a decade doing handyman work across the NW Chicago suburbs before starting FixHome+. The problem was always the same: homeowners paying $300–$500 for repairs that got bad because they had no one to call before they did. A subscription with one technician and one monthly fee is what he built to change that.
